Description Alvaro Manuel Recio Perez 2009-11-04 18:55:35 UTC 
Version:           0.80.2 (using KDE 4.3.3)
Compiler:           x86_64 architecture
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The history (logs) of a multi-user MSN chat is correctly saved by Kopete but only as part of the history of one specific contact (the last to be invited to the chat, I think) and no one else. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to retrive the chat at a later time, as the user has to "guess" which contact the history has been associated to.

I think the correct behaviour would be either to save the chat as part of the history of all participants or to "break down" the chat by saving only the messages of each contact in their respective histories.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

MSN has been discontinued by Microsoft, thus I am closing this bug.
